While not as bad as the horrid 10:10 video exploding children, I have to wonder this about the actual scientists that participated in this farce: what were you thinking ?
Of course, it does seem some circles in climate science are all about bling, and cheerleaders, and labeling people with ugly insulting profanity these days. So maybe, this is simply “state of the art”. The phrase “Real Climate Scientists” is used…hmm.
Watch this video from Australia (warning – profanities)
The lyrics are available here at the website where they made the video.

As if it weren’t pugnacious enough, we reduce it to sneering gangstas.
Hmmm! Very edifying.
Good lord.
Still, at least some of them might be able to switch careers to the music industry when the AGW bubble bursts and they can’t find jobs.
OMG……….It really is worse than we thought.
Is this what Organized Science has come to?
Maybe we should counter with skeptical break-dancing.
It is probably their best argument yet.
Obviously, they are rappers. Maybe this is a rapper’s criticism of climate science.
This looks like a failed attempt to counter the insanely successful “Boom and Bust” video that oppose socialism(aka global warming science).

50 seconds was all I could manage. Jesus, it makes you want to weep, the fact that that actual scientists think that this is the best way to convince the world of their hypothesis. On the positive side, the only people who would actually be suckered by this
crap would be the cretins who already “believe.”
Still, I need a drink.
Wow…just wow.
Oh and maybe a Really?!? (just for good measure)
Seems to me that a lot of the “Climate Scientists” in that video were actually aspiring scientists (read students).
Didn’t we all do stupid things in college? Granted just not this monumentally stupid.
I must credit these fellow Aussies for doing more to discredit CAGW than most sceptics… ironic, I know. I have to laugh at it or I’d be embarrassed for my fellow antipodeans.
Great job “climate scientists”… SELF DESTRUCT!
Just because they say so doesn’t make it so. In addition to being annoying, which is no surprise, I would question their expertise as much as that of the people they are deriding.
A scientist isn’t a person who parrots talking points on an issue and tries to turn the learning process into a religious crusade.
As a father of a 13 year old I’m glad to tell you that ANYTHING presented to teenagers in the form of a rap video is immediately and summarily dismissed as pathetic. One more nail in their own coffin.
Frankly ANYTHING presented to ANYONE as a rap video is pathetic.
And can anyone tell me exactly what qualifies one as a “Climate Scientist”? My University which has one of the largest Meteorology Depts in the country only offers Climatology as a minor in the Geography Dept. Somehow a PhD in Metorolgy, Geography, Physics or Statistics is less qualified to opine on the matter than someone with a minor in Climate Science? More like “Climate Studies”.
Aw lighten up! This deserves a homour tag. Who said “Somebody just can’t handle satire”?? http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/04/21/second-mann-spoof-video-removed/
It’s a hybrid video! Dual-purpose! It’s good propaganda for the Carbon Cult when seen by uninformed youngsters, and it’s also a perfect better-than-Onion parody of the Carbon Cult when seen by well-informed old coots.
How embarassing for real “climate scientists” (if there were such things). It’s all physics, doncha know. I wonder how many of them are physicists.
Oh yea, where did Al Gore get his Climatology PhD? At the bottom of a Super Sized McRib Value Meal?
If you look at his other videos, its quote obvious he’s more activist/communist than a scientist.
This reeks of desperation and poor taste .
Each week I browse a number of “climate skeptic” blogs. I often look for signs that a “tipping point” has arrived, indicating that the alarmist edifice is crumbling beyond all possible repair. This video, more than anything I have seen this year, convinces me that this point has arrived. Thanks for posting.
Most of them aren’t climate scientists. Also, those claiming to be PhD do not say what their PhD is in. At least one of them had “economics” in their title. Many were students or lecturers.
It’s interesting how “Deniers” were portrayed with a cowboy hat, boots and lots of money with clear destroy-the-world behavior. I wonder if any of those “climate scientists” in the video have ever once stopped to consider that the people “denying” their conclusion look exactly like them, hold the same jobs, have the same education they do. But of course, they couldn’t be honest about that, we’re just a bunch of profiteers seeking to light the world on fire.
The parallels between:

and the climate science community make this ironically an appropriate form of art in which to express the disagreement.
I am a musician, amongst other things. One of the longest-lived one-line jokes amongst musicians is “Let’s put the ‘C’ back in rap”. These guys have finally rendered that joke unusable by doing just that.
Angry, desperate, and – now – talentless. Don’t they know when to keep their mouths shut?
I’m not a climate scientist, but I can read, and I’d like to comment on a couple of things in the lyrics.
“We’re scientists, what we speak is true…” That would be Argument By Authority.
“Unlike Andrew Bolt our work is peer reviewed…” That would be By Each Other.
“Raisin sea levels twice by twice…” Just exactly where are your statistics that anything is out of the ordinary?
“Coz climate change means greater extremes…” Again, just exactly where?
Feedback on crack, permafrosts melting, methane release, burning letters, gravity is just a theory too, ad bloody nauseum. Made me nauseous, anyway.
God help Australian (pseudo)science, if this motley crew of brainwashed grant seekers is our future.
Cringe-worthy. I’m embarrassed for them.
Some day these people will have this unworthy effort trotted out at a retirement roast and they’ll be appalled.
It is pathetic. Scientists should be able to accept failure and move on. Nothing wrong with going back to the drawing board.
When you read stuff like that you got to admire Dr. Hathaway’s approach:
“my method works but don know why. Sorry, well it doesn’t. I shall try again, and again and maybe again…”
